Not in our Garage Sale

What a nice choice of paintings from a Paris Museum. But, how would the thief hope to sell them, apart from a very private collector? Picasso, Matisse, Braque, Modigliani and Leger. This is a lovely cross-section of early modern art, but what do you think of the monetary value as at about $300 million? Why is a painting worth more than the composition of a unque symphony or a superb novel?
